Is there any way to easily and accurately determine the gauge of stranded wire by measuring it?
I know you can pretty easily determine the gauge of solid-core wire with just a pair of calipers by measuring the conductor diameter, but with stranded wire, wouldn't there be variance in packing-efficiency of the strands? I also had little luck finding a wire-gauge to stranded-wire-diameter table.
I have a bunch of spools of wire that are incorrectly labeled. It appears that someone has respooled a number of the reels, as there are (at least) multiple reels all labeled "22 gauge" with different diameter wire on them.

This shows the stranded diameter and sub wire gauge+qty.
